No offense to Carol Doack but I hate paper piecing. Don't ask me why I decided to do these. I had to make 24 blocks with 17 pieces in each block. I had to get them done becasue my DD wants the black and white Think Outside the Box quilt (Toadusa), and then I want to make a bunch of Celtic Illusions quilts by Karen Combs.
At least they are finished! Hooray! |
they were well worth the effort...love them!!
|
pretty

They came out very good.
I haven't tried paper piecing yet. But will I hope. Want to be able to try everything then decide what I like best. You should be very proud of them! |
Those are lovely.
|
They are beautiful!! Paper piecing seems to be one of those methods you either love or hate, from what I've heard. I love it b/c of the precision you can get and just think it's fun.
But I know lots of people who also hate it :D |

But well worth the effort ! Great Job :thumbup:

They are beautiful, I can see how much work they must have been. Not sure I would let people eat on them.;) I like paper pieced...if it only has 5 or 6 pieces.
|
These are beautiful!
I don't mind paper piecing, and this pattern would be lovely for a friend of mine. Where did you find it? |

I hate paper piecing also!! i want to do it and love it but i just don't!! |

Wow! Those are pretty
|
Very cute!!!!
|
Great job on your placemats!!! Really nice colors!
|
To everyone - thank you for all the nice things you said! Now if I can just keep them stain free for a while..... :lol:
|
Lovely!
|
I think they came out lovely.
My DS lives in West Hartford and works in Bristol. |
Beautiful placemats
|
Very nice. We must have the same book 'cause I used that pattern in a vest I made. I like the precision but it is a lot of work.
|
Nice work!
|
As a matter of fact, I am working now on PP of an Air Force Star block(s). Actually it was the only pattern I could find of that particular block. My thought is that it seems to waste so much fabric. However, the seams sure are straight. Love the Tulips, by the way.
|
For not liking PP, those are beautiful. I still have not tried PP - need to take a class.
|
They sure turned out nice!

Carol Doaks book is also a very good tutorial - thats how I learned. It really isn't difficult - I just don't like the stop and start with the little bits of material! I like the rotary cut and piece method which could explain why I don't like to paper piece. |
Wow!!! They look gorgeous :D:D:D
|
Beautiful! They would be perfect on my table :) Guess I'll have to get this book!
|
They are great. I like paper-piecing when I want to escape..it's kind of like doing a jig-saw puzzle.
|
Nice!!
|
Wow, they are beautiful. Hate it or not, you did a great job. Thanks for sharing.
|
You did such a great job on them all!!
